Donations

We are only able to help refugees and asylum seekers because of the generosity of our supporters and volunteers, who have given us £30,000 since we established Sanctuary in Chichester in January 2016.

In November 2017 we launched a campaign to raise a further £40,000, in order to sustain and expand our programme of support. In just two months our amazing supporters donated £4,000 – 10% of our target.

With the £40,000 of new funding we want to:

create more drop-in facilities

help other Syrian families settle and become comfortable in West Sussex

extend our language learning service

offer more friendship-building and mentoring opportunities, potentially using sport as a focus

provide shelter to destitute asylum-seekers, sometimes at short notice

increase awareness of and access to our services

boost understanding among local residents of the issue that refugees and asylum seekers face
